2. Technology has been transforming rapidly - this not only affects
the way an organization functions but also the way you build an
effective workforce. Recruiting has moved a long way from pen
and paper format to online job boards, social media and now
video interviews.
The best way to showcase that you are agile and longsighted
as a company to potential hires is by using modern recruiting
solutions. Video Interviews are a boon for employers and
candidates in multiple ways. It allows recruiters to save time,
effort, and hire better talent at the click of a button and equip
the candidates to find the best matched opportunity.
For screening, options available are automated interviews,
code evaluation and written assessments. At a later stage, if the
candidate matches recruiter’s requirement, they could invest
time into live interviews. This works well for campus hiring,
technology and sales hiring as well, where recruiters have to
screen and select candidates for a handful of positions in a short
span of time.
In the next few pages, we will delve into the details of hiring via
video interviews, written assessments, and code evaluation in
the field of tech, sales and campus hiring.

3. Most organizations have a very widespread network of
salesforce. With an ever- expanding consumer needs,
organizations are also in a continuous expansion mode
in terms of salesforce. This leads to a situation where
organizations put the onus of recruitment on the various
sales managers scattered across the country.
Though this enables them to have a larger sourcing base,
it also has a telling impact on quality. This approach also
leads to significant increase in Time-To-Hire as several
rounds of interview need to be conducted to put in place
some control.
Biases also creep in the hiring process as majority of the
hiring happens through referrals which will have a direct
impact on the business as a below-par field force leads to
non-achievement of quotas and a smaller internal pool for
succession planning for First Level Managers.
In a decentralized hiring strategy, video interviews are very
helpful. Not only it can lead to a significant improvement
in quality of new hire, it can also reduce the time to hire
drastically.

5. Today, every company is also a software company in some way or the
other. Developers are the ones who are often tasked with pushing
the envelope, helping you simulate, iterate and innovate faster than
ever. Regardless of the industry your company is in or its size, hiring
talented developers is critical for business to thrive. They are also
in high demand, and not easily wooed by free passes or weekend
retreats.
Best tech hires are typically the ones who are reluctant to come to
your office or travel for an interview. They are critical resources at
work and do not have time, energy or flexibility to take a day’s leave
and travel for an interview. They expect their prospective employers
to understand that and proactively provide them convenience and
flexibility. Written test in person reduces the candidate reach again
leading to missing out good candidates, as you will be restricted by
geography.
A plain vanilla test is not be the best case to assess a developer’s
skills, you should rather do a code test in a real life code complexity
scenario. Also just technical skill evaluation does not give a full picture
of the candidate even for the purpose of screening, one needs to do
all round evaluation on motivation, cultural fit and suitability using
tools like video interview.

Developer Expertise Demonstrated
Most online tests lack an option of using a library of their choice for
coding - when developers are given this option, their potential test-
ed to the greatest heights
Global Hiring Across Time Zones
That job has been sitting around for a while now, as you are unable to
find a candidate that fits the required job profile and referral candidates
don’t always cut the deal. You could find talent across time zones without
spending money on travel or time to schedule an interview.
Audio Enabled Video Monitoring
Candidate integrity is measured with the option of audio- visual
support, it’s easy to find out if a third person is feeding answers into
candidate
Built-In checks Against Plagiarism
Candidate integrity is most important to businesses; finding out that
the employee only plagiarizes codes will do no good. An option to
block controls like ‘copy+paste’ helps you identify real talent

7. As employers recruiting on campus, you have a lot to work around:
class schedules and part-time jobs, not to mention other employers
competing for the same talent. However Campus Hiring teams are still
very conventional and even today uses pen and paper tests for the initial
screening.
The recruitment teams often visits the campuses or participate in career
fairs, conduct paper and pen assessments for the initial screening and
then spend hardly 10 minutes per candidate for face to face interview.
While a lot of time goes into travel and logistics and paper work in this
conventional process there is very little time spent in evaluation of the
candidate.

taking additional courses. This means that some students are working
and studying for at least the equivalent number of hours of a full-time
job, and therefore fewer students will be available to attend every career
fair, information session and recruiting event on-campus. Instead, they’ll
likely take their job search online when they have time around their work
and studies.
